Still looking for that extra special Christmas gift?

‘Why Warriors lie down and die’ is essential reading for anyone interested in indigenous peoples.

The book, by local author Richard Trudgen, offers valuable insights for those who want a greater understanding of the crisis experienced in Arnhem Land and Indigenous communities across Australia, where the situation is dire; health is poor, unemployment is rife and life is short.

Finding the real cause of this crisis requires the reader to look at it from the other side of the cultural/language divide – the side where the Yolngu people live. This fascinating book takes us to that side.

Normally $37.99 plus $5.50 postage & handling, as it’s Christmas I will hand-deliver them to Nhulunbuy residents for only $30 all up.

Proceeds from the sale of this book go towards sponsoring community development and community education work with Indigenous peoples.

“Many books have been written about the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land (NT Australia). This one is very different. It speaks about the real situation that we face every day, a reality that is hard for people of another culture to imagine.”

“Why Warriors makes gripping reading … with increased understanding comes direction and hope for the future … It deserves to be widely read”
